Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air
by L. Timmel Duchamp
Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air collects three early and one new story by L. Timmel Duchamp. The Tiptree/Otherwise Award Honor list story “Motherhood, Etc.,” explores gender issues through a nineteen year-old’s defiant challenge to medical authorities determined to control their body and contain their sexual difference. Another Tiptree/Otherwise Honor List story, “Welcome, Kid, to the Real World,” explores the grip that sexual dimorphism presented as an either/or choice has on a culture offering a seemingly limitless menu of choices to young adults. In “The Last Nostalgia,” Daisy Q seeks to map the City, a territory lying between the Real World and the Excellent World, home to poets and mathematicians. And finally, in “When Joy Came to the World,” a USian graduate student doing archival research in Florence experiences the joys of mass hedonism following a mysterious snowfall in the Arno.

Stone Martyrs
by Erik Hofstatter
“If stones could speak, what stories would they tell? We learn the horrific answer to that question in Erik Hofstatter’s intriguing collection of dark prose poetry. Profundity mixes with vulgarity, the sacred with the profane, as the once-human Rollright Stones near the British village of Long Compton come alive to contemplate past conquests and atrocities. Sex and violence, passion and obsession, witchcraft and loss of innocence combine in this powerful, disturbing, yet strangely moving dialogue of forever-earthbound souls.”

Making Amends
by Nisi Shawl
Starting an interstellar penal colony could be an extremely practical
idea, right? It could even provide a sponsoring corporation a good
Return on Investment—though of course their initial investment would
be massive. Making Amends is a novel-in-stories that tells how
a corporate government tries to put this idea into action. Beginning
with the selection of the first mission’s “volunteer” crew and
culminating with the idea’s lovely and unforeseen consequences,
Making Amends immerses readers in strange new worlds, worlds
precious to discover, tricky to explore, and beautiful to behold.

Stop Plosive
by Cesi Davidson
Why not?
In this collection of plays, I play. Why not? I explore how we can become more human with perspective-taking by giving an object, food, or animal, human characteristics. I place humans in unusual circumstances with time and space, and with mixed intentions. What can we discover? Come play with me. Let’s laugh and have fun together. Let’s acknowledge our sadness. And let’s cry together. Let’s admit that we don’t know all the answers but still know the importance of asking questions. Why not?

Cul de Sac Stories
by Tamara Kaye Sellman
The neighborhoods of Cul de Sac Stories are not precisely the
safe spaces you might expect. This collection of quirky exurban tales
houses the whispered fears of mothers and daughters, crones and
maidens, neighbors both familiar and aloof. Here you’ll find the codex
through a believably terrifying apocalypse, a primer for new mothers
managing newborn shadows, sacred scriptures unspooled by a handmade
doll’s magic promise, a village’s record of a fantastical war against
mother nature, witness to a town’s sudden choreography with
catastrophe, transcripts of prescient dreams from humbled charlatans,
notes from a suburban commandeering, and a romantic liaison left
hovering in the eaves.

Tales from Mnemosyne
by Dennis Danvers
As the goddess of Memory and mother of The Muses, Mnemosyne is
uniquely qualified to set the record straight—to tell the true stories
without the usual patriarchal propaganda, all the while keeping things
fun and only slightly blasphemous. Mnemosyne as a timeless goddess
knows now and then backwards and forwards and has as much to say about
the here and now as way back when. These fourteen tales include the
most famous—Daphne and Apollo, Europa and Jove, the Birth of Athena,
Cupid and Psyche—along with some too-often-forgotten ones, such as
Tiresias and his daughter Manto, and Oenone, the abandoned wife of
Paris.

Sinking, Singing
by Gwynne Garfinkle
A young girl hears unsettling messages in the grooves of an old record
album. A washed-up horror star gets a second chance at stardom, but at
a great price. A robot rebellion is fueled by the poetry of Adrienne
Rich and Audre Lorde. In this collection of short fiction, some
characters seek to escape (often through music or magic), while others
choose to remain in the beautiful, albeit damaged, present moment.

Feraltales
by Couri Johnson
Not all women are sweet and docile princesses. Sometimes they are
witches, foxes, or dogs gone wild and looking to bite. The retelling of
old tales in this collection recognizes the feral lurking within them.
And so, a young woman, abetted by a griffin, seeks to free herself from
a literally heartless man, twelve dancing sisters lure men to their
doom, business-minded witches peddle everything from moonshine to
manufactured tragedies, and the desperate wife of a king demanding she
bear him a son makes a deal with a fox.
